BASIC IS BACK
Das ist ein sehr funktioneller und schön designter Ersatz für konventionelle Tastaturen. Die Funktionen sind durchdacht und im Manual gut erklärt. Besonders praktisch ist es, die Tastatur einhändig bedienen zu können, sowie die Worterkennung und die Swipe-Gesten.

Das letzte Update ist 8 Monate her. Die WhatsApp Emojis sind nicht aktuell und Memojis kann man mit der Tastatur gar nicht versenden. Ansonsten bin ich wirklich happy mit der App. Nach einem Update würde ich mehr Sterne vergeben.
Makes it easy to type with one hand!
